7/17/2016 10:43:54 PM 72, First--thank you for the compliment. I backtest visually on StockFetcher. I have no favorite filter(s). But you will notice a favorite theme or two: +You already noticed usually 2 or 3 indicators +Usually standard indicators -- only a few are calculated/created +Usually buy the dip after a high +Try to go with the longer trend +Rarely day trade +Shared in the past that I usually do stop-limit entries +Shared that I usually go long +Long stock with a dividend -- usually better than 2% and less than 7%, If the stock drops let the dividends reduce the loss. +Trade small +Always be aware of risk of ruin: The loss of all +Always be aware of money management http://www.futuresmag.com/2011/12/31/simple-money-management-wins-over-time +Still have trouble with exits -- loss or profit (see partial solution above about long dividend stocks) +Short positions without dividend +"The chart below shows the amount a portfolio or security must rise after a drop just to get back to even" http://www.investopedia.com/articles/02/022002.asp 50% drop needs a 100% return of the remaining balance to get back to even +I try not to confuse a bull market with being too smart (try to stay humble). Overall a nice move up during my lifetime, http://www.macrotrends.net/1319/dow-jones-100-year-historical-chart. Watch out for another 1965 - 1982 bear market! +Keep an open mid, keep learning, keep investing/trading with my personality +Keep trading costs down--commissions low or none Hope this helps |

7/18/2016 12:26:36 AM Honestly, no. I diversify my trades by using new filters and old filters. I post my filters so I can run through them easily. --------------------------- I can share some recent trades/attempts with multiple filters: About a dollar profit  I can share this: About a dollar profit (filter posted: 4/26/2014 9:16:16 PM)  Recently: Holding for small loss (filter posted: 6/4/2014 4:14:22 PM)  Recently: (filter posted: 7/2/2016 2:19:02 PM)  Recently:  |
